Moral Kombat




another one of my design concepts for a parody knock-off ... Mortal Kombat... painted by Marie Fowler

Mighty Binding Power Prayers




Back in the day... 1995... I was involved in a project to manufacture a line of Christian POGS (also called milk caps). I came up with this design concept and had my friend Marie Fowler draw it up for me...

O.P.R.S.F.R.M.






In an attempt to avoid the embarrassment of becoming the next case study on the hit reality television series "Hoarders", I have decided to clean up my act.

With the threat of an impending collapse of my second story art loft and the current situation in Haiti still fresh in my mind... I have come to the stark realization, that someday... I too could find myself buried underneath tons of twisted metal, blown glass, wooden trinkets and plastic figurines.

With nothing to cling to but a handful of scrabble tiles and a can of spray glue, I'm not sure how long I would survive...

That's why I am calling February - "Operation Pack Rat Storage Facility Re-vamp Month" or O.P.R.S.F.R.M. for short.

Posted here are the "Before" photos of the quagmire that I call ... my studio loft.

I will document my plans to rebuild and re-organize this space, as well as post pictures of the progress... I will even throw in a few photos of the treasures unearthed by the archeological excavation of this site.

so with out further a due, but... with much fanfare... I give you O.P.R.S.F.R.M.

Song Birds




This is a series of collages I have started by utilizing pages torn from a hymnal, postcards of old churches, stamps and bird images.

Exposing Satan




This is a concept that I came up with... but I needed the help of an artist that could help me pull it off (no pun intended). That artist was Marie Fowler - long time friend and co-curator with me at the Artisan Gallery in Sacramento.

Valley of the Dry Bones



Ezekiel 37:9
Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live

I 'm No Sea Monkey !



Psalm 139:14
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.

I am an American Artist...




American Artist Collage series by Terry Flowers
